If you are a Person of Color BEWARE !!! If you are a Women of Color DO NOT GO HERE AWFUL Customer Service on every level! I will never bring my vehicle back to this establishment! The men that work here are prejudice, rude and disrespectful to women of color. With an early morning appointment my car wasn't even properly attended to after nearly two hours! The service and quality at Anderson is unsatisfactory. I also witnessed three white customers when waiting to pay receive free car washes while I wasn't even offered one. RACISM is an ongoing PROBLEM here! When I called to speak to a manager because my light was still on, the man on the phone talked to me like I was dumb and was argumentative with me not apologetic. Horrible experience overall even with the manager. These are racist men at Anderson Toyota that like belittling women. Honestly save yourself the stress, don't do business here. read more

Terrible experience. I've been sold two demolished Vehicle that I've shoveled almost $2000 into in the first month of purchase. I'm underwater on a vehicle that I can't even drive. This is a joke of a business. Don't waste or time or hard earned money on these sharks. All they care about is a quick buck. The only good employees are Josh and Brandon. They genuinely care about the customers. Everyone else is just in it for the scam. read more

Ok. The service manager reached out to me, on the oil change stickers being labeled for 5 months, instead of 6. Thank you. His explanation was that a lot of people come in late for Toyota care appointments, and they then forfeit it per the factory. This is 100% true, and is one of the problems with Toyota care. However, most people schedule based on the sticker. If you are out of Toyota care and follow the sticker, you will be paying for your oil change at the 5 month interval, instead of every 6 month, or yearly if you are on that schedule. Although I understand his logic, they are potentially ripping off paying customers. Since most people make appointments over the phone or online, it should be possible to flag them as overdue when scheduled, if that's the issue. You can also put an auto call to remind your customers to schedule Toyota care, say a month before. My dentist uses that, so I know it's doable. You could also post signage explaining to people the expiration policy of Toyota care. It could also be brought up during the new car sales process. After talking to the service manager, I was impressed with his integrity. I do not believe they intentionally set out to misinform anyone. But unfortunately, that's what's happening. read more

Anderson Toyota - My 76' HiLux. - Car Dealers Near Me - Loves Park, Illinois

Today I was very disappointed with my dealership that I've been with several decades. My family has been with the Anderson dealership since it started with Mazda dealership on North Alpine. They've always had a fair price on good cars though not the best price around. And their service garage technicians were good mechanics. And the waiting area spotless clean and comfortable. So though slightly pricier we've enjoyed the relationship and willingness to pay slightly more for the great service. And they didn't give me headaches with offerings of needless services unlike some of the dealerships around the town. We'd just go in for the services stated on the manual and be done with it. But in 2023, I've had the a/c system on my aging 2011 highlander done for something over $2000(I don't remember the exact amount). But last year I've had to take it in twice due to leaks(the warranty covered it). But yesterday it was blowing warm air again. So took it in for service today and came out very disappointed. I was told that a/c system was leaking from the far rear end where it wasn't the part that was replaced and there's lots of rusting. My question is this: how is it possible to have the refrigerant leak from the area that is not part of the a/c system? And if the complete system was overhauled how could there be rust in the area? Today I was quoted $3500. Does this mean they've charged me 2/3 price for half the job 2 years ago? So now they're asking for the full price to do the complete job? What do you think? Is this the end of our relationship with otherwise a great dealership? read more

Wow.. I have always praised Toyota . Yes we all love their cars. But I look beyond the cars.. I look at the service, which I always got top notch service... Until Friday Dec. 9 I purchased another one vehicle from Anderson Toyota yesterday, of course I like the car.. Do I Love it No. why? I always enjoyed picking my own. Seeing 2 or 3 before I decide.. I felt that yesterday my salesman did the picking, and he did all I mean all of the talking.. I would ask question about the car, he would give me a short answer or changed the subject.. to my family, how many Kids. What does your husband do? How many grandkids. And the thing is He Could Care less.. He was so hyper, couldn't keep still, I had concerns about the milage. He told me Oh That's nothing and asked me a 3rd time about my kids. I tried to ask about the next oil change. He talked right over me. I've never had a Toyota without a sunroof. I love sunroofs. Especially being Chlostophobic. He said Aww you don't need that. I scored my concerns to the Finace guy, who was very nice and helpful. And he really tried to address My question and concerns.. but he's no salesman. I had the kind of of salesman that prey on women that's without a man. I did express my concern to my husband when I got home with the car.. I want to bring the car back. Because my question and Cercerns were not Answered, read more

We were on vacation and found ourselves in need of an oil change. We pulled in off of the interstate & 45 min we were driving down the road. It was a breeze to get it all done. Everyone was super friendly. This was best experience I've ever had at a Toyota dealership. The patio is dog friendly & we had a great experience. read more

Anderson Toyota - The patio is pet friendly & great place to wait on your car. - Car Dealers Near Me - Loves Park, Illinois

Just go someplace else! I'll start by saying we started off on a good note. I called inquiring about a vehicle, was told that there were none in stock on their lot but they could arrange for me to drive someone's "loaner" to get a feel for the car and see if I liked it. The whole experience was great and I committed to "ordering". I followed up a week later, bringing my husband with as well, and giving the dealership $1,000 to have my car ordered into production. Salesman, Ryan Svatos, then said he'd be in touch and that we wouldn't be in the dark during the process (which we were told could take 6-12 weeks). Fast forward to week 5, no contact. Then week 6 he calls my EMPLOYER (said he didn't have my phone number) and tells the random guy who answered the call that the car should be here "this weekend or next". I call him, he states that he will "call me Tuesday morning with an update" (we are halfway through week 7 now), calls Tuesday and his exact words were "Well, I'm not sure what to say, Toyota hasn't picked up your car yet" then proceeds to tell me he understands if I can't wait any longer or if I want to go another route. I ask him to clarify what going a different route means, and he says "another car or another brand". Excuse me??? At this point I'm so confused (and running out of time, not wanting to wait another 8 weeks when he clearly didn't order my car) so I start my own search. Within 30 mins I FOUND, and put a deposit down on THE SAME CAR with EXTRAS for the same price at another dealer! Why couldn't Anderson do this in 7.5 weeks, but I could in 30 mins?? Ooh it gets better....I then called my Credit Union to have my approval letter sent to the NEW dealership, only to be told that Anderson called and CLOSED my credit application with my credit union stating I was financing with them instead!! So that whole process had to be started over...... I'm still waiting on a refund for my $1,000. But I'm picking up my new car on Saturday from Oakbrook Toyota! read more

I came in for a warranty recall service and asked to look at something as well as putting a new bulb in. First time there with my 2014 Corolla. Depending on how Things went I was going to inquire about trading up to a SUV. Well. Not only did I walk around the lot and got 0 help, I was then handed a repair bill for a separate issue, AND my warranty issue wasn't taken care of. Several folks came in during my time there, and they were shown Cars, given coffee, and treated with respect. It felt incredibly demeaning . Not trying to be that guy but The only differences between me and the people that were actually getting help was ethnicity.. seriously. I really wanted to see how good the service was here but I got way, way more than I bargained for. Truly awful. read more

I tell you what the salesman at this location are rude. They waste your time over the phone or online with vague information to try to get you to come into the store. Once you are there they insult you by offering a ridiculous trade in value for your car and try to get you into a loan way out of what you expressed your "range". In my opinion don't waste your time at any Anderson dealership. Just left a very bad taste in my mouth. read more

I had my first 2022 4Runner appointment today at this dealership. Eddie Brown in the service department did an exceptional job . My husband is a perfectionist when it comes to cars and Eddie took the time to hear him out and communicated to the technicians the extra care my husband was requesting . Eddie was already ready for me when I arrived and greeted me immediately pleasantly and professionally . After the service , he assured me of the extra care with bolt removal to rotate the tires and assessed the result himself. I am happy to come here again to receive service and possible vehicle purchase in the future . Eddie demonstrated work with excellence and he was joyful in his job and not at all inconvenienced . Thank you so much ! read more

My mother has had so many amazing interactions with this Dealership that even through she moved 2 hours away, she doesn't want anyone else to look at her car. The service department has been friendly, flexible, thorough and knowledgeable. They have always been very honest, easy to get in to, kind and trustworthy. Thank you for the great experience! read more

Anderson Toyota - Car Dealers Near Me - Loves Park, Illinois

SEE UPDATE BELOW -- corrective action taken promptly: Yet another disappointing interaction with a Rockford Toyota dealership. I give up. Every time I have tried to establish a more constructive relationship, nothing but predatory behavior results. The issue today -- I am selling my 2004 Sienna privately. Was trying to procure the dealer's slip that accurately describes all features of the vehicle out of the dealership and any recall information. Started an online chat, described what I needed. Was deliberately misunderstood; gave the VIN number. Request was specific and clear. They wanted an email address -- ok, reasonable. They wanted a tel no -- no, not reasonable. Then received sales info, nothing of what I had requested ..... another dismal performance by a Rockford Toyota dealership. I had specifically stated that this was NOT the information I was looking for. It's ok. I have two other Toyotas -- a Prius and a new Sequoia. I will continue to drive to Janesville with my business. Apparently it is still the only place locally to get good Toyota service. RESPONSE: I did receive a response. From a sales person. The person receiving the text chat message should be able to relay information reliably. Or to the correct person/department. Or ask questions. I specifically negated that I was looking to purchase a vehicle. I gave her a VIN number and asked about the manufacturer data sheet. UPDATE: Received multiple emails from Anderson Toyota --including one with the information I had originally requested. Wonderful! Really helpful, responsive, quick turnaround -- within 24 hrs. Impressive. We all make mistakes. But the ability to correct them -- yeah, that's a champ. Thank you, Anderson Toyota. Revising grade of "one star" to "four stars". (But I still blocked all the advertising emails.) Well done. read more

My wife and I bought two brand new vehicles from this dealership since 2014. We've used them exclusively for our vehicles maintenance... and we have had good experiences. Yesterday, I took my vehicle in for preventative maintenance. I wanted the spark plugs changed, transmission serviced, etc. In short, I spent 700 dollars. I payed the bill, got in the truck and started to drive off... that's where things take a turn for the worse. The very first stop light I came to, the truck violent shook and the steering wheel turned back and forth on its own. I figured, that perhaps the lug nuts didn't get tightened and immediately returned. The truck got pulled back into the shop and shortly the service writer came back and said the lug nuts are tight and my front rotors are warped and needed replaced. Now, I'm pissed. Rotors just don't warp by accident... they warp from excessive heat. I drove this vehicle 50 mile just the day before and this truck didn't do this violent death wobble. I explain this to the service writer and his response... well how do the rotors warp from changing fluid. I said exactly? How do they warp from changing fluid? His response... well we can get your vehicle back in and replace the brakes for you. Umm... no thank you, my truck drove perfectly fine in here... now I have to pay you to fix something that wasn't broken. After heated discussion the service writer has enough and walks off with a good bye... have a nice day. Pretty unprofessional. I go to leave and stop...im not going to let them ruin my vehicle and say nothing. I'm going to let the general manager know about the tomfoolery going on in his shop. Long story short, the service manager and sales manager take my vehicle for a test drive(while I'm in the car.... because I don't trust them at this point) confirm the front rotors are warped. I continue to ask how the front rotors get warped from a fluid change. Then insist that they didn't cause the damage and accuse me of bringing it there with faulty brakes. I told them I wouldn't even drive this vehicle with it shaking so bad... and this truck has never done this... going so far as to swear an oath on a Bible. After the drive, they did offer "financial incentives" to repair my truck... but at this point, I don't trust them at all to perform any maintenance on my vehicle and I tell him exactly that. With that said, he said "well, I guess we're done here"... I agreed. Anderson Toyota damaged my vehicle possibly by accident.... possibly on purpose and now you want to fix it. I'm sure your "financial incentive" will get buried in parts and labor costs. Sorry for the long rant, but I figure I would give an honest review. I'm sorry to say, I'll never step foot in that dealership again. Pretty sad, considering we had good experiences. Next step, I will be taking my vehicle to another independent shop to see if the spark plugs were actually changed. If they're not, I'll be hiring legal representation. read more

if I could rate them as zero, I would. They missed an important issue in my car, rated it as a "yellow" and did not address it. I trusted their expertise. We brought the car to another shop the next day where they detected the problem and corrected it. Anderson is okay leaving an important checkpoint as "yellow" without further exploring it or correcting it. The service representative was very defensive and argumentative. read more

So glad I came to this location!! They went above and beyond to take care of me. My experience was just over all amazing!!! Eric Siekierski made it so fun and easy and Ben Bleed got me approved for the vehicle I wanted even though I felt like my situation was a little bit difficult to work with!!! I would definitely recommend to come check this place out. read more

Overcharge for new vehicles just because they can. If you are paying over MSRP you are throwing money away plain and simple. Charging $3500 over and saying other dealerships are charging more. Well other dealerships are NOT charging anything over. I am willing to travel not to be ripped off. I guess they don't care about the local people that they are around everyday. read more

I am very disappointed when the warranty is so bad and the service staff and service manager do not respect customers. My car was in normal use, but when I took it in for maintenance, when I received it, it had freezing display and going to black errors, and I came back shortly after to ask questions and was accepted to replace the part and then still kept having the problem again and i had to go back a second time with update software and immediately the problem came back again. I am very unhappy with my newly purchased car having this problem less than a year. And I had to come back for a third time and the service guy decided to do a long service and I had to leave my car for almost a week and then the staff took my car all night with all the Harsh Braking , Harsh Cornering and Fast Acceleration reported continuously through the Toyota app on my smartphone all night and then continued to use my car the next morning to go to Home Depot. I was very upset and went back to the dealer on Monday morning to ask for an answer from the service manager and he broke his promise by not solving my car problem and also calling me back and the next day but he didn't call me for the next few days. I am very disappointed and frustrated with this dealer's very bad way of working from management to staff.... read more

See all

Randy took care of me when I brought in my car for the coolant to be topped off. He also topped off my washer fluid and didn't charge me anything for either! He was so nice and helpful, I was pleasantly surprised it was done at no cost. If I lived here, this would be my go to place! Thank you, randy! read more

Took my SUV for a 5000 mile maintenance and it took them 15 minutes to complete the work. The tires weren't even looked at, let alone rotated. I know this because they were marked and they definitely weren't switched. They did nothing! This car wasn't bought at Anderson because they did nothing to sell me one. I had to go out of state to buy it. Never coming here again! Go buy a Honda from Napleton, now that's an exceptional place! Now this is a response to Kristi at Anderson! You didn't pull my record because I do not have TDR! And I did not come in for any recall! read more

My mother just purchased a brand new 2011 Corolla from here in November of 2011. At that time they were offering a $100 back with a purchase (which isnt a big deal when you're purchasing over $18k in product). But it made my mother happy since she already was planning on buying a car. Well its been nearly 3 months and Anderson has been very unresponsive in giving my mom the $100 they've promised. She has called them repeatedly and every time they tell her that the check is on the way or in process. Finally tired of waiting, she stopped by the dealership to try to get this dang check and the Sales Manager tells her that the promotion has ended so she will not be receiving the $100 as was promised to her. As a marketer, I know that is a very improper thing to do. To promote some form of money back but not delivered, is what we in the marketing field call "FALSE ADVERTISEMENT". Well we all know Word of Mouth is what helps businesses, but i hope our bad WOF will help other when they are considering buying from here. This experience has altered my mother's once pleasant opinion of Anderson Toyota to where she is just disgusted with them. Her salesman was Don Smith and he was helpful through the car buying process. It is just crazy to me how car dealerships are such money hungry businesses. Well, my father was in the market for a new truck right now, a Toytota or Nissan, but we'll see if he can get treated better in the Northwest Suburbs. Apparently Rockford is so desperate for money that they would rather lose your business than try harder to satisfy their customers. read more

Hmmm.... That's what I was thinking a couple days after purchasing a new car from Anderson Toyota.. My sales person Jeff S. was a great guy who was really looking out for my best interest. Jeff went that extra mile for me seeing I was turning a lease in early and my credit had taken a hit due to identity theft. The sales manager, not so much. With so many numbers being thrown at you it's difficult to know whether you are really getting a good deal on a vehicle.. After reviewing my financing figures, I found that I was "misunderstood " about how much money I wanted for my trade in. I ended putting up the cash rather than my trade in, wasn't going to be taken advantage of. Said they were "doing me a favor" ... Hmmm really?? This whole experience has left me scratching my head, but isn't that true with all car dealerships??? read more

I am actively seeking to purchase a Toyota Tacoma. My two major choices within 25 miles of were I live are Anderson and Ken Nelson in Dixon. I had multiple dealings with both companies over the past 20 years. My last two NEW cars were purchased from Anderson. This was to be my 3rd new purchase from them. I opted to start my search at Ken Nelson. The model and color I wanted was not in stock. But they located one for me. I was provided with their bottom-line price. The Consultant and Sales Manager were very helpful and professional. I advised I would be visiting Anderson on the following day to see what they could do for me. The Consultant and on-duty Sales Manager at Anderson were accommodating and we reached a deal. They found the color that I wanted at another dealership and I agreed to pay the transport costs in addition to the aftermarket add-ons that I wanted. Financing was assured and they confirmed it would be 2-3 business days and the car would be in Rockford for my inspection and acceptance. I left them a $500 deposit and they gave me a copy of the spec set with the exact car that was to be delivered. 6 days after seemingly sealing this deal, I called the Consultant for a status. He was out and I left a voice mail for a return call. I did not get a call back and I tried again the next day. There was no call back. I then called the Sales Manager. He told me he could not establish contact with the out of state dealer and could not tell me when to expect the car. He did not offer any alternatives prior to ending the call. This is unacceptable and deceptive behavior. It is the old bait and switch routine. They clearly wanted to sell me the vehicle they had on the lot. They made my deal, took my deposit and then failed to deliver. This is dishonest and deceptive at best. A review of the posts above indicates that this is a recurring problem at Anderson. I went to Anderson for their excellent Service Department. The Sales Department has assured that I will do no further business with this dealership. read more

A Friday filled with unknowns with a car in need of service and broken down on the side of the road. Anderson Toyota came to the rescue. The car was towed directly to the dealership and within 3 hours diagnosed, repairs made for a reasonable price and returned to owner by the end of the work day. Great customer service and I would recommend them to all those who are in need of auto services. read more

Horrible experience buying a car. After test driving and deciding on model, they delivered a car that was not at all what I ordered. Did not give me any written estimate before sale. Really a very unpleasant experience. If you want to buy a car from them, be very careful. read more

This dealership is amazing. I'm absolutely astonished at the customer focused service and professionalism in all areas. My wife and I recently moved to the area, we just got a new RAV 4. I worked with Julie Rush and she was an absolutely fantastic sales person who was knowledgeable, helpful, and followed up after the sale to ensure we were completely satisfied with our experience. This dealership has set the bar for me on what true customer value means. Any dealership can sell you a car, but this dealership treats you like family and builds relationships with their clientele. Whether you are considering a Toyota or a Lexus, this dealership deserves a look. They will not disappoint! read more

A few months ago, I stopped in before a trip to get my oil change at Anderson Toyota while working in the area. I decided to purchase 4 new tires. I had shopped around at the dealerships nearer to me (Streamwood), but they were very expensive. Anderson Toyota however gave me a great price on all 4 tires. I was pleased. I was back in the area last week and stopped in again for an oil change. The Service Manager there was very easy-going. He called me later and mentioned that I needed brakes (which I knew I did) and when I went to pick it up, the brakes were done cheaper than I could have gotten them anywhere near me. I'm very happy at how inexpensive, quick, and kind the service staff is at Anderson Toyota. Great service. read more

Well I came to this dealership as Hesser in Janesville has no one to answer their phones and they cannot fix Toyotas and East Madison Toyota has no one answering their phones as all they do was ring. My car got a notice from Toyota that the passenger air bag was recalled so come in and get it fixed. Called Anderson to make an appt. They answered promptly plus were friendly, so that gives them high marks. Hubby brings in vehicle, drops it off and gets a ride from the shuttle to work. An hour later, Anderson calls and says, "Come and pick it up. Parts need to be ordered and we'll call you when they are in." What??? At no time did anyone say anything about needing to come back a 2nd time on the phone or when car was dropped off. Hubby had to be late for work and was inconvenienced. So I called the service manager to express my frustration . He actually called me back and I explained to him about my frustration regarding a lack of communication from their staff and my hubby being inconvenienced again. I stated that he ought to get a free rental car the next time, and he agreed that it would be available when my husband came in. I was happy about that as I knew hubby would be happy to show up on time to work. Fast forward. Anderson calls and says parts are in. I ask rep if free rental car will be available and he states that it will be. "Says you are to get a free rental car, so we'll have one for you." Hubby drives in. Anderson takes the vehicle. Hubby states, "Where is the rental car so I can get to work?" "Oh we don't have one available." WHAT????? I couldn't believe it. Why didn't they call the night before and state no rental car was there? After waiting for an hour and seeing husband really ticked off, service rep finally "finds" a car and off he drives to work. An hour and a half late. Well, this place is better than Hesser and East Madison Toyota. But it would be a million times better if the left hand knew what the right hand was doing. The service reps need to give out more accurate info to the customer and honor their commitments. I do give them praise for their overall friendliness though. But that alone cannot run a business. read more

As I was reading up on Yelp's automated filter, I saw something about Yelps that the company asks for being a grey area in the no-no category. I must say that my prior Yelp for Anderson Toyota was honest and I probably would have Yelped it anyway, but I got an email from Anderson requesting that I write a review on one of four review pages. At any rate, I still stand by my 5 star rating of Anderson's. read more

With my 2004 Toyota Sienna, oil change was $35. Now, we have 2014 Toyota Sienna and the oil change now is $80. What the heck!!! they wouldn't figure out why the price different change but offer coupon of $5 off. I try to schedule an appointment of same day to be ready to be on road to Texas tomorrow. They say they only have one for next week. Really? There's plenty of appointments available for tomorrow and the next day and so on online. They should combine telephone/online schedules to fit in for the clients. I guess I'd have oil change done in Texas instead since they aren't that friendly to work in with the clients. read more

Excellent communication prior to my purchase. The days following (to resolve outstanding paperwork issues), not so much. Actually, it's like pulling teeth to get a response, be it via email or phone.

Very negative experience today with Anderson Toyota of Rockford, Illinois and one of their used car salesmen, Al. On Friday evening we gave him a check for $100 to hold a vehicle until the next day, while we waited on getting a credit approval. Al assured us the check would not be deposited, that it was only a sign of good faith on our part. I had made it clear we were not yet purchasing the vehicle, but having them hold it until we could decide (I refused to sign a purchase agreement when we were at the dealership on Friday evening). We subsequently chose a vehicle from another dealership. When I went back to Anderson on Saturday afternoon to retrieve my check, I was told by this same sales rep (the one who told me he was personally holding it in his file) that I would have to wait until Monday, as only the general manager could return my deposit. This was directly in conflict with what that same sales rep had told me not 18 hours earlier. He then became angry because I had not purchased the vehicle he had shown us, and I was angry because he would not return my check, because I had been made to wait an hour, and because I felt he was not being honest with me. Our verbal exchange quickly devolved into a shouting match on the showroom floor (for which I was - and still am - embarrassed because I had let him get to me). What also bothered me was that on Friday morning I had spoken with Al over the phone and told him the type of vehicle I wanted and the price I was willing to pay. In that phone conversation he told me he had four or five vehicles that met my criteria. Yet when my wife and I drove the nearly fifty miles on Friday evening to look at these vehicles, he had none of them on the lot (he claimed they were at their various affiliated dealerships) and tried to sell me a vehicle for $8,000 more than I was willing to pay. The only other vehicle he showed us was a Buick sedan, which was a nice vehicle (and the reason I had considered it and was willing to put down a refundable deposit to hold), but ultimately it was not what we had wanted. I had felt deceived because my wife and I had made a long drive on a cold night to look at four or five vehicles of the type we wanted and at the price I was willing to pay. Yet Al had none of those vehicles to show us. What made this a real problem is that I am a dialysis patient and had to forego my Friday evening treatment so we could look at the vehicles he had represented to me earlier in the day over the phone. I will not do business with this dealership because I do not believe their salesman was honest with me. In my opinion he was pushy, unprofessional and fits the stereotype of every say-anything-to-get-you-to-make-the-purchase car salesman too many of us have had the displeasure of experiencing. . read more

Took my 4runner in for a brake bleed. Service person called and said the brake bleed is done and pedal is nice and firm but there is less than 5% left on the pads and they need to be changed immediately. When I picked the 4runner, the pedal did not feel any different (very soft). I notified a service guy in which he took it for a spin. He said the truck stops and drive a 100 miles or so and it should firm up. No such luck and when I took the truck home, I took the wheel off myself to see the brake pads. More that half left. I wish I knew how to post pics. What a scam they have going. The Toyota service department is exactly the group you read about charging for unnecessary services. read more

So once again I have an issue with this dealer and not only have they lost my business for buying a car, but as of this morning they have lost my business for service. I went in for an oil change and expressed my concern that the tire pressure light was on. Being a former mechanic I know that that means there is an issue. I brought it to my service writers attention and asked to check the tires for an object. I was then asked if the light was flashing and I said no just constantly on. That is when I was told that " unless it is flashing it is ok." After the oil change I got my paperwork and nothing was said about the light or a possible object in tire. I got in my vehicle and the light was off but not.long after getting down the street it came right back on. I Do u le checked my owners manual and it stats whether flashing or ON that I need to consult with my dealer. Obviously something is wrong and needs to be addressed. I will be finding another dealer to service my vehicle now. Best of luck to the dealer and their other customers. read more

My Prius was running poorly and my usual repair place was not able to help so "had" to use a Toyota dealership. Have had not so great experiences at Anderson in the past so was dubious about returning. Took it in and was told it just needed a new 12v battery and all was good to go! Absolutely thrilled, even high fived the person helping me Ryan. Left to head to Chicago, but sadly car was still acting up.... called Ryan as soon as I arrived to let him know and all I got was a "dressing down" as to all the other problems that likely causing it, mostly a need for new spark plugs despite me telling him they had been replaced last year and only had 40k miles on them (which because he kept talking over me, I don't think he heard). Asked him to keep the old battery, as if that wasn't the problem then there was new need for a $380 new one! He told me he would ask the technician to put it aside and to drop the car off Saturday and he would have loner available, awesome, all good. Stopped by first thing on Saturday to find a very unhelpful staff, was left sitting in the waiting area until I finally approached them, to be told it got busy all of a sudden, however the person who was suppose to be looking after me only had 1 customer walk up to him and he then sat at his computer doing paper work and making some phone calls. Again the attitude I received was degrading and demeaning... Monday late afternoon rolls around and no phone call or update, I leave it another day in the hopes that I will hear from someone. Tuesday I call at around 4pm to be told that Ryan wasn't there right now and that he would call me back as soon as he got back in. When I asked if that would be today, I was told yes. Still no phone call. Wednesday I call and finally speak to Ryan who again is talking to me like a child and is incredibly condescending and rude. He then informs me that the oil was very low and that was the cause of my issues (burning oil) and the car now requires a new $4k motor replaced, in a car that is worth at best $1.5!!!! After getting rather upset that we go from a 12v battery to no oil in the car (which I would have thought one would have checked back at the first visit, kind of like checking peoples vitals, also of point they completely missed/ignored the low air tire warning light the first go around) and needing a new engine. Ryan then proceeds to blame me for everything and infer that I am not capable of taking care of my car, despite having no idea how well its serviced. We finish that call and I go home to discuss with husband. Together we call Ryan back (on speaker phone) and listen to Ryan totally "rip into me" again, husband was horrified as to how he spoke to me. I ask him to replace the battery and to put the old one back in, as it seems that was not the issue and we would be down to pick it up. Ryan told us he would have the technician complete that and it would be ready for pick up. At the end of the day I receive a call that the car is ready to be picked up, when I ask if the battery has been replaced he starts yelling at me stating I signed the paper work agreeing to the work and that the old battery is "on the back seat". Apparently it took 8 hours to pick it up and place it in the trunk (thank goodness) of the car. At this point I'm nervous about going to the service area alone, so husband comes with. Ryan does not acknowledge me, look up or say anything, just stares at his computer screen. Another person directs us to the payment desk where we pick up the keys and leave. My big issue here, regardless of the repairs or lack there of, I am astounded by the lack of courtesy and kindness shown by Ryan. Not once did we get offered an apology or kind word, all I received was a "telling off" by an arrogant man who didn't even have the decency listen to me, he was unable to call me, the customer to keep me in the loop or reach out in a timely manner. Not to mention the lies and excuses that were literally thrown at me. Honestly this type of sexist and degrading behavior in this day and age is unforgivable. Will never set foot.... As an FYI, it cost you a new car sale, drove into Elgin picked up a brand new Prius and couldn't be happier with the service we received at Elgin Toyota, highly recommend! read more

I've been taking my 4Runner to Anderson for service since I purchased it from them new in 05. The counter help in service are outstanding, their technicians well let's just say I'm not impressed! About 4 years ago I had the truck in for routine maintenance which included rotating the tires. I picked up the truck and within a mile the left rear tire fell off. Luckily no one was hurt and they did take care of the damages so I just let it go. My issue with them this time started a month after I had the truck tuned up at another shop. I started up the truck one morning and it was running pretty rough then all the warning lights turned on. It ran rough for about 10 minutes then smoothed out. I brought it in to Anderson and they diagnosed that the other shop didn't use Toyota spark plugs and that's what caused the problem. I didn't buy their reasoning but okay just fix it. Well $250 later I pick up the truck drive it for a day and guess what...the lights turn back on and the truck runs rough for 10 minutes again. Bring it back in and 2 days later they figure I have a bad injector. Okay how much is that? Well $550 later, though they did credit me for the tune up, I pick it up drive it home and have the same problem. So back it goes they have it another 3 days and can't figure it out. The lights are off ... for now at least if it happens again bring it back. So a couple days later it's back and now they have some super tech from Toyota come in and he figures it out, now I need head gaskets! How much is that I ask.. $3200.00. At this point I'm done with Anderson. I ask a friend who owns a used car lot who he would recommend. He says hands down H&T Auto Service on 11St. He tells me their shop isn't some elaborate fancy building but the father and son team are really amazing mechanics. So they look at the truck for 3 hours and find the problem was caused by 2 bad coils and a leaking water pump, which by the way stuck out like a sore thumb since it was caked in antifreeze. H&T's total bill with an oil change came out to $700.00, it's been about a month since the repairs and the truck is still running like brand new. Oh and at some time during all this, the engine under cover was removed and lost...or maybe it was when they put in a new front axle for about $1300. Gee wonder if I even really needed the axle. Oh well the cover which I just ordered only cost me $241.80 ... guess who won't be installing it. Anderson did credit me another 295.00 and gave me a loaner car during all the time in the shop but I've lost all confidence in their mechanics and will never return. read more
